God of War: Ascension may be Sony Santa Monica’s current top priority, but that’s not stopping the studio from staffing up for a new IP.
According to a job listing on Gamasutra, the studio is on the lookout for a senior combat designer to help work on an unannounced project. The advertisement asks for experience on both first-person and third-person shooters, and adds that an understanding of vehicular combat would be preferred.
The winner of the most recent season of The Tester reality show landed a production associate role at Sony Santa Monica on an “unannounced blockbuster game”. While that title could be God of War: Ascension, given the timing, it's more likely that this job listing is related.
Does the industry really need another shooter, though?

If only Santa Monica was talented.
We have so many options for first person shooters that my head spins, i dont think the industry needs another one, but if they allow us to choose to First to Third person (like elder scrolls, fallout 3) that would be nice. Or atleast take everything great with shooters and combine them and perhaps break the mold.
@Chrono_Cross Errr — they're one of the best studios in the industry?
God War is SM's only franchise. So talented.
